Democrats storm out of the room to protest a speech against men invading women’s spaces.

NH State Rep Erica Layon (R) gave a fiery speech defending women's rights and calling out radical gender ideology that lets men invade women's spaces.

The Democrats tried to silence her through a vote and failed. After failing to silence her, the Dems stormed out of the room.

 
this is true for tchotchkes that dont matter but i dont know if an apple or samsung will keep the prices same.
Apple has a pretty high markup. This source says:
how-much-profit-does-apple-make-per-iphone.png
An iPhone is sold at 119% above cost.

Apple can easily "afford" to eat a tariff increase. Whether they do that depends on politics and marketing.

Apple announced $500 billion investment in the US

When TSMC announced $100 billion in new chip factories in America the CEO made sure to say Apple and other companies made the deal possible.

Tim "Apple" Cook was at the inauguration.

Trump has "went to bat" for the tech companies by telling Europe to fuck off with their lawsuits against the tech companies.

So far, tech companies are going along with Trumps plans. If that continues I would think they would avoid price hikes blamed on tarrifs.

This platform is electoral cyanide for the Democrats at every level of politics and they cannot let it go. You love to see it.
 
Didn't Trudeau resign? When is canadas next election?

Trudy did a press conference about how he was stepping down then promptly dismissed Parliament so his opposition couldn't force him to do anything. So right now Canada has no government in sitting and nothing can be done and because our Supreme Court are all Liberal appointees they're sitting on their hands and delaying ruling on everything until Trudy gives them the OK.

He did this to hopefully give his party (Liberals) time to choose a new leader and fund raise money so they don't get totally wiped out when, by law, he has to call an election. But like all brain dead progressives their only answer is to double no triple down on the shit destroying the country.

Trudy is one of the most scummy Canadian politicians ever to be named PM and that's saying fucking something considering what his father did during his time as PM.

There has been some bounce back in Liberal polling numbers since the Trump thing, as the moron who vote Liberal no matter what see Trudy standing up to Trump as stunning and brave no matter how much it will fuck them over when the tariff's hit.

These people would rather rip out their own tongue then say anything positive about Trump or admit that he as a point even though they are Canadian. It's our version of Vote Blue No Matter Who we just call them Lib'tards as they will always vote Liberal no matter what happens because only rednecks and bad people would ever think about voting for the Conservative Party!

Ruin the economy by refusing to deal fairly with Trump? Good!! Fuck Trump!!! Orange Man Bad!!! Now which way to the bread lines comrade my children need their weekly ration of patriot bread.

The funniest bit is there is no difference. The Liberal Party and the Conservative Party are just two sides of the same coin who are all owned by the same rich wealthy elites who would rather see Canada burn to ash then lose their stranglehold on the Canadian market place. Really go look up and see what kind of tariffs Canada places on US goods and you'll be mightily surprised. Over the last 50 years these elites have used their bought and paid for political drones to pass tariff after tariff, law after law all to protect their interests from competition from US companies and all to detriment of Canadian who have no choice but to pay money to these monopolies because letting in US competition "would be the end of Canada as a independent country".

As a Canadian I say Trump is in the right here.

The Canadian Government has been putting very heavy tariffs on US goods and passing laws forbidding US companies coming into Canada for a very long time and all to protect the interests of a very small (9 families) group super of wealthy (by Canadian standards at least) who own and operate about 90% of all major Canadian companies.

The saddest thing is letting in US competition would gratefully benefit the average Canuk. We pay some of the highest prices for goods in the Western world because of the legal monopolies Ottawa created but because he's been told his whole life that the US is nothing but an bunch evil capitalists who will ravage and destroy Canada just to fill their own pockets said Canuk will vote Liberal to "protect Canadian jobs and businesses" not realizing he's fucking over himself and his future children.
 
From what I'm seeing, no tariff currently for everything under the last free trade agreement, so basically everything. Steel/aluminum tariff still coming for the 12 barring change. I know trump want milk tarrifs at 250% ( matches current quebec ''gestion de l'offre'' system) tho there's really not much point anyway because the milk industry produces over the need easily so exportation is a tiny fraction

Crackhead Ford getting a bit too high on '''''canada strong'''' copium and saying he's still gonna push for electricity tariff. I heard that some PM's want to keep the tariff even tho Trump removed them because, again, retarded
This is why the rest of Canada thinks Ontarians are retarded assholes only a tiny bit less worthy of death than Quebeckers.
 
Roddenberry was progressive, it’s why at first Number One was a chick. Just accept you liked the 60s version of woke before it included trannies and gays.
But women were not allowed to be captain. I'd like to think it was a response from Michael Burnham that women were banned by the time Kirk came around.


He "resigned", but at the same time announced his resignation comes into effect when the Liberal Party has chosen a new leader, then he prorogued parliament, so the federal government is on ice until his successor is chosen. The next election is scheduled for October, but election dates in Canada are not set in stone and all the potential new Liberal leaders have said they won't necessarily stick to the date and may consider their swearing-in date as the start of a new mandate, which would give them potentially five years before calling one.

Yes, it is a total farce. Even worse, there is no way the people here can make a difference in the situation, as our constitution has an insane amending formula that basically amounts to saying "The constitution CAN be changed, but good fucking luck making it happen"
So he basically suspended parliament and elections so he can stay in power longer and cry about Trump?

Sounds like some country is need of some Democracy and Freedom.

Troons in women's sports is one of those topics where democrat politicians keep impaling themselves on their own swords. This country has been creeping slowly toward more and more liberal takes on big issues over the last two decades and the most recent correction back to the right was so profound that these politicians really are stranded out in No Man's Land, championing losing causes and refusing to even so much as soften their stance, much less change it.

Newsom is greasy and a chameleon, but he also has the political sense to know when to abandon a losing fight.
